Sorting of table except first ROW

I have one table

table = uitable(fig, 'Data', tableData, 'ColumnName', columnNames, 'ColumnEditable', true, ...

'Position', [17, 50, 870, 400], 'CellSelectionCallback', @(src, event) tableCellSelectionCallback(event), 'SelectionType', 'row', 'RowName', '','RowStriping','off','ColumnSortable',true);

this i have "ColumnSortable = true" which provide me a sorting in my table. but i want to execlude first row of table from this sorting can i do that..?

or do we have any call back when sort button is hit on ui...?

Hello Suraj,

I understand that you want to sort the table column wise excluding the first row of the table.

The closest workaround is to create a custom sort mechanism to separate the data out and perform sorting on the rows excluding the first row.

Here is an example on how to do it:

% Extract the first row
firstRow = table(1,:);

% Extract the rest of the data excluding the first row
restOfData = table(2:end,:);

% Perform sorting on restOfData

% Combine the first row back with the sorted data
sortedTableData = [firstRow; sortedData];

% Update the table's data
set(table, 'Data', sortedTableData);

Here you can perform the same sorting mechanism on the "restOfData" instead of the entire table.

I hope this helps!
